Our Global Family

The National Trust was founded in England in 1895 by three extraordinary leaders: Octavia Hill, Sir Robert Hunter and Hardwick Rawnsley who were united by a belief that beautiful, natural and historic places were worth protecting for future generations. 125 years later, the National Trust has more than 500 historic places and 250,000 hectares of natural heritage under its care.

The mission of the National Trust extended beyond the boundaries of the United Kingdom to other countries and in 1970, the National Trust for Fiji was enacted through an act of parliament, the National Trust for Fiji Act (Cap 265), to provide for the protection of Fiji’s natural, cultural and national heritage. Today the National Trust of Fiji manages 8 properties across the country.

The National Trust global family is united through the International National Trusts Organisation (INTO) in their concern for the world’s heritage. National Trusts around the world care for places communities identify as special, protecting them, connecting people to their heritage, involving communities in their past – and their present – through caring for and about those places. There are over 70 member organisations of INTO.
